Patryk, the embargo obviously isn't working without the rest of western world joining in, so it's ridiculous, but if it weren't for foreigners supporting Castro, the system could have collapsed years ago.
Cold war caused Russian communism to go bankrupt and collapse, the same scenario was planned for Cuba - if only it weren't for Europeans investing there..
Or I might be wrong, huge influx of US tourists might have influenced Cubans to cause a shift in Cuban politics.. (like, US business investing in Cuba getting Castro killed, heh)
It's just a guessing game..
I think that the emabargo is wrong, but more so for US people's freedom than for Cuba.
I think I understand your reasoning, but I'd say going there, enjoying the place and feeling good about having tipped a waiter with what a Cuban earns in two months is not really helping other than making the tipper feel good about himself.MONEYCIDE: american govt does nothing to Cubans. It even doesn't let Americans do anything with Cubans in Cuba.. IMO, of course.
Lazy westerners don't want to know that the nice waitress in Cuban hotel is actually a slave - she has no choice, she cannot leave Cuba, she must work for the regime. As much as freedom lacking the US is, saying it is comparable to Cuba is just unfair.
